Hybrid Histories: Forests, Frontiers and Wildness in Western India (Studies in Social Ecology and Environmental History) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book explores a crucial dimension of Indian history: the politics of wildness. It suggests that wildness was affirmed in various ways by early nineteenth century forest communities as a way of challenging upper upper caste values. With colonial rule, wildness was marginalized, leading to a new identity: adivasi.

Review
`A quite avantgardistic approach towards re-writing the history of so-called forest communities or tribes ... is presented by Ajay Skaria in his study Hybrid Histories.'
